Deaths from Packaged Pre Washed Lettuce

[Guest guest]

A little off topic but important if you didn't hear. Dole was brand

but could happen to any brand, a couple of deaths from e-coli in

lettuce. Said e-coli can be on lettuce and since it isn't cooked, can

infect. E-coli can get there from fertilizer if natural is used or

animal excrement (sorry) in farm location. Washing lettuce in huge

batches spreads it around where it might be localized on a particular

head in other cases. Said please rewash lettuce before eating but in

some cases that won't be enough, so there is just some uncertainty

there. I'm convinced it might be good to go back to heads since you

can pull off the outer leaves and inside was pretty protected.
